Notes
1st issue example with open wheel arches, fawn finish with matching wheels, small baseplate print with rails and the rear axle is secured by means of a tinplate clip.
Rarely handled with scarcely any marks to the paint finish.
Generally bright baseplate has a little wear in one small area .

In all original condition with a pleasing lustre. Small area of rough casting on one front wing. Very few tiny marks to the paint finish. Very nice!
